Digging into WordPress is a must-own for anyone with an interest in using WordPress. Whether a novice, a more seasoned user, or a developer-in-the-making, this book serves as a great reference on all-things WordPress.

Weighing in at 400 pages, Digging into WordPress is presented in an organized and logical manner, with great anecdotes and code examples weaved throughout. The book lives beyond its pages via the accompanying blog, conveniently titled Digging into WordPress. There you will find additional tutorials, tips, and downloadable code.
